That's what I thought ;) I can't imagine anyone is after the handful of ZTE widgets, LOL :lol:

I'll be patient, I won't flash a CWR on it before I HOPEFULLY be able to dump my "clean" rom :)

download android sdk here http://developer.and.../sdk/index.html download the .zip extract it to desk top (easier to find) then run the sdk manager .exe

cancel the choose packages to install pop up.

click on available packages / then open third party tab / then the google inc tab / then select google usb driver package.

then press install selected. wait for it to finish then close & continue

instructions for making rom dump. http://android.podtwo.com/romdump/ (please read below first)

starting ADB make sure you phone is conected to computer via usb & usb debugging is enabled on your phone....

menu / settings /applications /development & tick usb debugging (install any drivers that popup)

from windows press start & in search enter cmd & press enter (black box pops up)

(enter the following to start adb)

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools === Press Enter

adb devices === press Enter >> You should see your device listed

adb shell === press Enter >> you should see # in the next line

Now you are all set to run adb commands (refer back to the rom dump instructions above)

Thanks :-)

Here's the good news:

And here's the bad news :(

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[Guest tillaz]

are you using the latest version of romdump >>> romdump_v82b.zip

if not remove and retry with the above

[Guest ColonelZap]

I'm a little confused, the file inside the zip you posted is called "romdump", the files in the older versions are called "install".

Do I need both? Do they have to be in the "platform-tools" folder?

Do I have to change the commands if I'm using the "romdumb" file? Maybe replace the install command with romdumb?

SORRY, I'm very new to this :blink:

[Guest ColonelZap]

Success?

I found a "romdump" folder on my SD-card, I'll upload it somewhere and then I'll send you a PM with the link.

I'm not so sure what's inside, so I'd rather not make it public ;)

Android ROM dumper v0.72b

©2010 Sebastian404

*So you've decided to <strike>steal cable</strike> dump your ROM*

/Myth: Dumping your ROM is wrong.

Fact: Google is a big faceless corporation, which makes it okay.../

romdump is a (very) simple program that dumps the BOOT, RECOVERY and

SYSTEM partitions to your SDCARD, this will allow someone who is

technicaly minded to create a recovery image... and that is a GOOD thing...

DOWNLOAD HERE <http://android.podtwo.com/romdump/romdump.zip>

Once you have downloaded and unziped the file you will have an 'install'

file, now its time to goto work. There are two ways to proceed...

*Method One* - /ADB/

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, and is something you really should

have working, I dont intend to enter into a long tutorial on how to

install and set this up, but someone at google has

<http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html>. Make sure you have

enabled 'USB Debugging' on your device (goto Settings / Applications /

Development).

Once you have adb type the following commands:

adb push install /data/local/

adb shell chmod 04755 /data/local/install

adb shell /data/local/install

you should see something like following:

Android ROM dumper v0.72b

[*] Android local root exploid © The Android Exploid Crew

[+] Using basedir=/sqlite_stmt_journals, path=/data/local/install

[+] opening NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT socket

[+] sending add message ...

[*] Try to invoke hotplug now, clicking at the wireless

[*] settings, plugin USB key etc.

[*] You succeeded if you find /system/bin/romdump.

Once you see that you need to turn your Wifi on and off, usualy in

Settings / Wireless & Networks / Wi-Fi

now thats done, type the following:

adb shell romdump

then wait for it to finish, it can take a while.

*Method Two* - /Terminal/

You need to install a terminal application from the Android Market, I

recomend google's own, but as long as its free.

Once you have installed it, copy the downloaded install file to the root

of your sdcard, then launch your terminal application and type the

following commands:

cat /sdcard/install >/data/local/install

chmod 04755 /data/local/install

/data/local/install

you should see something like following:

[*] You succeeded if you find /system/bin/romdump.

Once you see that you need to turn your Wifi on and off, usualy in

Settings / Wireless & Networks / Wi-Fi

now thats done, you will need to launch the terminal application one

more, and type the following:

/system/bin/romdump

then wait for it to finish, it can take a while.

Once the program has finished you should find a directory in the root of

your SD card called romdump and a sub-directory named after your device

model. Take those files and give them to someone who knows how to make a

recovery zip.

hope this works for you.

if you get stuck let me know.

[Guest tillaz]

we should really give this to the site owner paul so he can create a flashable.zip and pinn it to the zte skate / OMC forums, like the stock orange rom is...

[Guest dadashi]

cool, nice work :)

follow this guid to install clockworkmod recovery http://android.modac...-the-zte-skate/

if you get stuck let me know.

has the colonel uploaded the unlocked rom without clockwork...? Can we have a copy of this to try on our locked OMC's...?

Pleeeeeease :)

[Guest tillaz]

Pleeeeeease :)

thats why i say we give it to paul, because he can get it pinned along with the stock rom for orange monte carlo, otherwise through time it will just drop to the bottom of the fourms.

[Guest ColonelZap]

I'm uploading it right now but are you SURE it really worked? I see some error messages in my screencap?!?

I did a factory reset before the dump so I GUESS this is as clean as can be and no personal information inside?

yes it looks ok, no personal information is taken from this,

if you are wanting to flash the rom in this thread wait because i am uploading v 1.6 now

[Guest ColonelZap]

O.k., I take your word for it :)

Edit: unusable

if you are wanting to flash the rom in this thread wait because i am uploading v 1.6 now

Thanks :) I'll wait for a while anyway until I can be sure that my romdump is as useful as can be ;)

Hi Tilaz, Can help me to play & test a game?...

It is "O2jam Analog"...

http://approb.com/Android-Apps/Entertainment/201109/944.html

error message:

Sorry! The application O2jamAnalog(process com.idosoft.o2jam) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

What can I do?

[Guest acidsnake]

So, how can we flash the stock firmware now?

Btw will this be voiding the orange warranty?

[Guest tillaz]

having some problems uploading v1.6 keeps failing at 80% hopefully it will work this time.....

[Guest dadashi]

youve already voided you warranty when you installed clockwork and other roms....but of course if you have a stock rom without clockwork you can flash back and orange wont be any wiser...

there is a stock orange rom without clockwork for anyody with a warrenty issue...

And there is colonels ZTE stock rom...which might unlock our locked skates....

anybody tried it yet...?

Edited October 1, 2011 by dadashi

[Guest ColonelZap]

anybody tried it yet...?

I thought it needs to be made flashable before anyone can use my rom dump?!?

[Guest dadashi]

I thought it needs to be made flashable before anyone can use my rom dump?!?

youre right...

the boot image isnt in the romdump, is it?

...doesnt the phone need to be rooted to dump the boot image with the kernel?

Edited October 1, 2011 by dadashi

[Guest ColonelZap]

Don't ask me, LOL :lol:

I just hope I got everything off my phone that is needed, if somebody can confirm it, I can finally flash a different firmware on it :)

[Guest dadashi]

wait untill a flashable rom is available for your Skate...you might need it sometime.....

I have a feeling we might be seeing one before the nights up...

a friend bought an OMC a couple of weeks ago and the display had problems, strange patterns and colors only a reboot helped...it kept happening so he had it exchanged....had the stock orange rom so no worries...

Edited October 1, 2011 by dadashi

[Guest wrtease]

yes it does need to be rooted to dump the boot image .otherwise its only showing 4 of six files.

[Guest tillaz]

Don't ask me, LOL :lol:

oops... my bad sorry

EDIT: do not root skip to last post (page 11 post #217)

we made a small mistake

Edited October 2, 2011 by tillaz

[Guest dadashi]

maybe we can use the boot image and kernel from the orange monte carlo...

[Guest dadashi]

oops... my bad sorry

try rooting first http://android.modac...-the-zte-skate/

then try the rom dump

ok colonel, that should be easy..you've done the hardest part once already, so doing the root is simple and then the dump again...
